DUer's we are this close to electing a rigth wing government in Canada.

[Swede]

They will send troops,kiss ass,I am really fucking scared right now.

[NMDemDist2]

1. sorry dude

:hug:

[shraby]

2. Hope you guys have a

Michael Moore up there.

[Swede]

3. My relatives think it's Pepsi or Coke

They don't even realise my nephews could be in Iraq in six months if we elect the Right wingnuts.

[Fenris]

4. I know, Swede. It sucks.

Keep hope alive, though. We're about to kick our right wing government back to the shithole it came from.

[senseandsensibility]

5. What are the polls

saying?

[PROGRESSIVE1]

6. good question?

[Swede]

7. Neck and neck.

THe right wing fuckers are just vile, there locals are against abortion,minority rights,health care etc, and nationally they are all "Liberals aee smearing us" .

[PROGRESSIVE1]

8. see this article:

13. In dangerous times, fascism is an easy sell.

[Swede]

9. Harper even wants a FUCKING air craft carrier

Why the fuck does Canada need a air craft carrier, Harper sez it's for helping our allies (read Bush). Actually he wants two of them.

[Sugarbleus]

15. Yipes, Swede..how did this happen up there?

What do you think has taken place to cause so many conservatives to come on so strongly? I'm really scared for you too, and for us here.

I admit I don't watch Canadian politics much but I thought most of you were watching us and saying 'Not in Canada' or some such thing. I thought your government hated the way we were doing business. What's going on?

If Canada falls to rw conservatism...WHAT'S NEXT?

[Swede]

16. Just when the general public is sick of the Liberals

TIme for a change etc. along comes the right wing fuckers. These guys want to take a hard right turn and half the electorate don't see it yet. Canada isn't Canada without healthcare,we as well become Austria.

[Valerie5555]

18. Not to mention *'s "Canadian cousin" in a manner of speaking.

eom.

[Sugarbleus]

22. So you have people blind as a bat up there also it

seems. Did someone suggest you needed a Michael Moore Canadian style?

I hope it works out better for you good folks. I've always thought of Canada as a peaceful refuge and a beautiful beautiful country. I hate to think what will become of you if the greed monsters get hold of the reins. Much good luck to all of you.........

[Valerie5555]

23. Or maybe they're so HOPELESSLY MYOPIC that no sort of glasses

would help them see clearly.


Meaning no disrespect for the hopelessly myopic, since I too wear glasses like it or not. <sigh>

[T Town Jake]

29. "we as well become Austria." (?)....

..."Austria"? I guess I don't get the reference to how Canada becomes "Austria"? Did you mean "Australia"?

[Jack_DeLeon]

32. I think he is referring to...

how Germany annexed Austria in the period before WWII.

Now the US is Germany and Canada will be like Austria.

[TrogL]

25. Clairification

It's not an aircraft carrier like the Enterprise.

It's primarily a troop carrier that will have a flight deck for helicopters.

Canada was embarassed a few years ago because it had to rent ships to move its troops to Desert Storm.

[ShaneGR]

10. And the New Democrats look around going...

It wasn't me that said the Liberals were so bad!

[kikiek]

11. Will Sweden take any of us back?

[Bjornsdotter]

30. Mmmmm.....Funny You Should Ask...

Hi,

I'm looking into that right now.

Cheers,
Kim

[kikiek]

34. Let me know what you find out!

My grandfather immigrated. I might be wanting to go back.

[Robbien]

12. It scares me also

I keep watching the press on the Canadian election and it is so hard to believe. I really thought Candadians wouldn't be taken in by this stuff as the materialist American masses have been.

I still keep hope alive that the polls are wrong and you tell the corporatists they are not wanted.

Here's hope the election will end in the correct way.

[Valerie5555]

14. If any Canadian city gets "September 11th incidented" as a result (god

forbid), I wonder who the likely targets will be


On edit I won't be surprised if Calgary is one because of things like our dealings with oil, and we're fairly pro American.

[Swede]

17. Canada would vote left wing big time if this happend

but we would also increase out military budget 1000% over night

[PROGRESSIVE1]

19. You think so???

[Valerie5555]

20. Maybe it would depend on the severity.

eom

[DaveSZ]

21. Al Qaeda says it has Canada in its sights

http://www.rabble.ca/babble/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic&f=3&t=001139


I don't know what kind of paper the NP is.

[Valerie5555]

24. Uh -oh maybe we may deserve terrorism more if the Canadian Annoyance gets

in as the FLIPPING GOVERNMENT, maybe not.

[TrogL]

26. The National Post is a right-wing rag

[Valerie5555]

27. and a media lapcat of that very Canadian Annoyance party.

eom

Meaning no disrespect to kitties, for I have a kitty too.

[Swede]

28. I would never be Bushshievvik

Unless theu hit uw. aND HE T KNOW HE HAS MADE IT OK.

[Guaranteed]

31. They better not. Where am I going to move if Bush

gets re-selected?

[JayS]

33. What effect, if any, is the two billion (?) spent on gun registration...

...having on the elections?

[SidDithers]

35. Even if it happens...

the Conservatives don't have the numbers for a majority government. A Conservative minority government would either be completly powerless to change anything, or would fall within a year. Or maybe both.

Paul Martin and the liberals could concievably lose the election and still form the government - as a coalition with the NDP. Canadians don't elect a government, Canadians elect a parliament, and parliament chooses the government.

Right now, polls are showing that nobody has the support to win a majority governement. It will either be a Liberal or Conservative minority.
